Abstract. Correct registration between pre-operative high-resolution images and intra-operative data of lower detail is a fundamental requirement in image-guidedliver surgery. We propose a multi modality liver model for measuring the accuracy of such registration methods. A freshly explanted

In a retrospective study, it seems that ASBO requiring hospitalization with conservative management occurs less frequently after laparoscopic bowel resection than after open surgery. However, the need for surgical release of ASBO is similar (3

"... Abstract. We present a system for marking, tracking and visually aug-menting a deformable surgical site by the robust automatic detection of natural landmarks (image features) in laparoscopic surgery. In our sys-tem, the surgeon first selects a frame containing an organ of interest, and this is used ..."

"... Ó The Author(s) 2010. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Background After extended liver resection, a remnant liver that is too small can lead to postresection liver failure. To reduce this risk, preoperative evaluation of the future liver remnant volume (FLRV) is critica ..."

) is critical. The open-source OsiriX Ò PAC software system can be downloaded for free and used by nonradiologists to calculate liver volume using a stand-alone Apple computer. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of OsiriX Ò CT volumetry for predicting liverresection volume and FLVR
